Respiratory distress is a condition where a person has difficulty breathing. Key signs include increased respiratory rate (tachypnea), use of accessory muscles (like neck and shoulder muscles), nasal flaring, grunting, and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin). Nurses must recognize these signs early as they indicate potential respiratory failure, requiring immediate intervention.
